This is the first systematic analysis of the different ways in which Roman imperial lineage was represented in the various 'media' through which images of emperors could be transmitted. Rather than focusing on individual rulers of the Roman Empire, it evaluates evidence over an extended period of time and differentiates between various types of sources, such as inscriptions, sculpture, architecture, literary text, and particularly central coinage, which forms the most convenient source material for a modern reconstruction of Roman representations of power over a prolonged period of time.
From Liverpool where his father was a shipping agent, Charles Ryle Fay was an advocate of co-operation, workers' and women's rights, and a leading British machine gunner in World War I. Professor of Economic History at Toronto University during the 1920s, his legacy in Canada is still remembered - as it is in India and elsewhere. This is his biography.
